What 3.8-Max is
Qwen3.8-Max is Alibaba’s Qwen flagship announced 2026-08-03. 2.4T MoE, ~95B active; hosted API id qwen3.8-max; 1M context. Official trail: alibabagroup.com document, qwen.ai/blog?id=qwen3.8, @Alibaba_Qwen. First time a Max-class checkpoint shipped with open weights.
Weights are out. Do not equate surfaces.
Around 2026-08-14, Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B open weights appeared on Hugging Face and ModelScope. Hosted Max may expose vision / tools the raw checkpoint does not. “You can download weights” is not “same capability as the hosted API.”

Confirmed vs treat carefully
Confirmed
Announced 2026-08-03; 2.4T MoE / ~95B active; hosted id qwen3.8-max; 1M context; published API $2/$6 + cache $0.25; Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B weights ~2026-08-14. Sources: Alibaba document, qwen.ai/blog?id=qwen3.8, @Alibaba_Qwen.
Treat carefully
Do not assume hosted Max equals the raw 2.4T-A95B checkpoint — vision / tools may be hosted-only. Do not treat third-party resale as the official table. The /models list is the authority: as of the 2026-09-20 check it carries qwen3.8-max, with priced calls in the last 30 days.
Two paths
Official hosted 3.8-Max
Need the new flagship and the official vision / tool surface? Use QwenCloud / the official API, id qwen3.8-max.
Qwen that QCode actually lists
QCode sells qwen3.7-max. 3.8-Max is newer. It is not in the catalog.
How the official surface works
On the hosted API set model=qwen3.8-max. For weights, pull Qwen3.8-2.4T-A95B from Hugging Face / ModelScope. Local inference should not assume hosted vision / tools. This page does not give a QCode call path for 3.8-Max — that id is not listed.
On QCode
